Was it cygwin?

I'm having a brain fart but it's not called cygwin

cygwin is a unix environment for windows

cyanogen, you mean?

Yes

VR goggle smartphone

the phone itself is armored like fuck and has a metal surface for max heat dissipation

the goggles go on your face

anyone buy a lock picking set?

here's my angle

why don't they make these VR goggles with a battery pack on the rear side as counterweight to the goggles up front

Is it even worthwhile going from RN3 to RN5? I would want to buy the 6/64GB model, and can write it off on CRCs

that would lead to equal weight distribution and make it way easier to wear

also no, i think at this point smartphones have a lifetime of like four years or so

It's just that I would also like to switch out my laptop for a Xiaomi one, but I'm concerned of potential overages from DHL being goys with customs and fees

i long since stopped buying any laptop but thinkpads

But the MiBook looks so fucking good!

And battery life to match as well

looking good doesn't matter if it shits the bed like all the laptops do or explodes from being placed on a table too hard

true that

get a used thinkpad for 300 bucks, whichever is currently at that price in the used market, it'll serve you well

But I'd want to actually get better or more performance from my current laptop

a thinkpad won't cut it

laptop and performance are two words that people need to learn to disassociate

I currently have this one, but with a 2tb hdd https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Aspire-V-Nitro-7-791G-Notebook-Review.141469.0.html

I would like to switch to something lighter but still comparably capable

i got a used thinkpad T520 three years ago or so at that 300 bucks price point and it served me well. I only got it AFTER i bought a brand spanking new HP laptop for 300 bucks that managed to completely kill itself THRICE in SIX months, so bad that the ON button just did absolutely nothing. i gave it back after the third repair, got my money back and went to buy the used thinkpad and it never had a single hitch since

also if the laptop isnt heavy enough to kill small animals by being dropped on them from hip height it's SHIT

That's one way of looking at my problem

So you have Mi Book for about NZD$1200

And Mi Gaming for about NZD$1900

Mi Gaming doesn't have soldered ram, meaning the ram upgrade would be much cheaper

and it, to be quite honest, looks pretty fucking good

minus the rgb

fucking soyboys and their rgb pandering

you can always jerry-rig rgb yourself

no

that's what your soldering iron is good for

more like I wouldn't want the rgb

but still backlit

yeah, it's just deciding which one to buy before the year is up is a tough choice
